207582 - cannot paste to Mozilla Mail from Open Office or other apps

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[John Airy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

When pasting from Open Office Mozilla Mail will not perform the paste.  It will
process then give a blank outcome.  If I select a small paragraph or less text
it may paste.  Sometimes I get odd characters added to the pasted text and I
have had some difficulty editing the text right after pasting [i.e. cannot back
space untill playing with the cursor.  I have tried using a current version of
Mozilla and it does not help.  I must say I like Mozill better than Evolution or
KMail but there are some problems with it still.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla Mail 1.2.1 with Red Hat 9, and Open Office 1.0.3
2. Copy a sizeable amount of text from Open Office Writer
3. Atempt to paste to Mozilla Mail



Expected Results:  
I want to be able to past whole pages - I use Open Office to format and
spellcheck my emails then I paste the email to Mozilla Mail but I have to select
small amounts of text at a time to make it work.

You are using a fairly old version of Mozilla.  Please download a more recent
version. If the problem persists post an additional comment, else close the bug.
 (BTW this WFM on May 28 nightly, with OOo 1.01 on Win 98).

Also reproduced under SuSE 8.2 with Mozilla version 1.5.

I downloaded the nightly build today and it did not paste from a fairly new
version of Open Office to Mozilla Mail - composer.  I hope there is something I
did incorrectly and hope it has been fixed.  :)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
